Comparative diagnostic accuracy of immunoprecipitation versus immunoassay methods for detecting Aspergillus fumigatus‐specific IgG in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Mycoses (Berlin), 2022
The diagnostic accuracy of immunoassays versus immunoprecipitation methods for detecting A.fumigatus‐specific IgG in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) complicating asthma remains unclear.

Estimating the minimal important difference in FEV1 for patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

European Respiratory Journal, 2022
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an allergic lung disorder caused by immunological reactions targeted against Aspergillus fumigatus colonising the airways of asthma and cystic fibrosis patients [1].

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Chest, 1984
Since 1968 the number of reported cases of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in the United States has risen secondary to increased awareness by physicians and to improved diagnostic criteria for identifying the disease. The eight diagnostic criteria, the five clinical stages of the disease, the common radiographic changes, the pathologic findings,

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2022
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex allergic disorder caused by immune reactions against Aspergillus fumigatus. ABPA most commonly complicates the course of patients with poorly controlled asthma. Patients commonly present with uncontrolled asthma, fleeting pulmonary opacities, and bronchiectasis.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an uncommon but serious respiratory condition characterized by chronic airway inflammation and airway damage resulting from persistent colonization by and sensitization to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. The immunopathogenesis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis involves several pathways.

Medical algorithm: Aspergillus fumigatus components in the diagnosis of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2021
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a lung disease involving hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus (Af) antigens caused by repeated inhalation of spores in susceptible hosts.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is caused by an exaggerated T(H)2 response to the ubiquitous mold Aspergillus fumigatus. ABPA develops in a small fraction of patients with cystic fibrosis and asthma, suggesting that intrinsic host defects play a major role in disease susceptibility.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) occurs as a complication of asthma. It presents as an infiltrative pulmonary disorder with respiratory and systemic symptoms, eosinophilia, elevated total serum IgE, and skin sensitizing, as well as precipitating antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Sputum cultures are not always positive for the organism.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2010
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a complex clinical entity that results from an allergic immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus, most often occurring in a patient with asthma or cystic fibrosis. Sensitization to aspergillus in the allergic host leads to activation of T helper 2 lymphocytes, which play a key role in recruiting ...
